24
"Woe to those who sin and do not observe my commandments," says the Lord;
25
"I will not spare them. Depart, you faithless children! Do not pollute my sanctuary."
26
For the Lord knows all who transgress against him; therefore he will hand them over to death and slaughter.
27
For now calamities have come upon the whole earth, and you shall remain in them; for God will not deliver you, because you have sinned against him.
28
Behold, a terrifying sight, appearing from the east!
